Baby Osprey Eating!

My neighbor let me know that the baby osprey could be seen from her upper deck and was being fed by one of the adults.  I was able to get some fairly close up pics with my long lens.

I'm fascinated with the orange eyes on the baby versus the bright yellow eyes on the adult.

And then there's the Yellow-Crowned Night Heron nest in the tree behind our house.  This one has two babies (see the second one between the two standing birds).  The other nest on the branch below it appears to also have two babies.  The second nest is a little more hidden, so I can't really get a good picture of it.
